process until chopped. Add cheese, bread crumbs, and

evenly over meat, pressing firmly. Starting on longest
side, roll up jelly-roll style, folding in sides to enclose
filling. Secure with wooden picks or kitchen string.*
In large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat,
heat remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml) oil. Add beef
roll; cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned, turning
occasionally.

with no-stick cooking spray. Add beef roll and any
remaining juices from pan. Top with bell pepper and
tomatoes. Drizzle evenly with marinara sauce. Cover
and cook at SIMMER 8 to 10 hours, or until meat is very
tender. Remove meat roll to work surface and cut into
slices. Serve meat and sauce with cooked spaghetti or
